CREAM coonnn- Application filed March 26, 1927, Serial No. 178,739. Renewed reb ar aiue. g

This invention relates to a cooling device for cream and other flui-ds, the general object of the invention being to provide a U-shaped member adapted to be placed in a receptacle containing a cooling medium, with means for introducing the fluid to be cooled in one end of the member, the other end of the member being shaped to form a siphon and this end delivers the cooled fluid into a receiver.

A further object of the invention is to make the down part of the member of a plurality of tubes, while the upper part is of but a single tube so that the fluid passes slowly through the member and is thus held in the cooling medium for a long time and by' having a plurality of tubes, the radiating area is increased.

A still further object of the invention is to make the member of pipes and flexible tubing so that it can be easily manipulated and will hang straight when hung up so that it will drain easily and freely.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in Which:

Figure 1 is an elevation showing the device in use, with the cooling tank and the receiving receptacle in section.-

Figure 2 is a plan view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a view showing the device hung up to drain.

Figure 4 is a View taken a quarter turn from Figure 8.

Figure 5 is a longitudinal sectional view through the funnel supporting receptacle.

Figure 6 is a sectional View through the funnel.

In these views, 1 indicates a receptacle which has its lower end extended at one side thereof, as shown at 2, on which is placed a hook 3 forholding the receptacle'atthe top of a tank A which containsfthe cooling medium. The receptacle I is provided with an internal collar t'which' has its inner cir cumferencebeveled and groundto engage a similar annular surface 5 vformed on a. funnel'6 sothat thefunnel is supported in the receptacle, with a liquid-tight joint between the parts." A flexible tube '7' is connected with the'spout'of the funnel and the other end of the tubeengages' the inlet nipple 80f a coupling "9 which is formed with the four'outlet nipples 10. 'Four pipes [11 are connected together in spaced relation by; the clamps 12 and the upper ends of these pipes are connected j with the discharge nipples 10 by the tubes '13. A coupling 14,s'iniilar to 1 the 'coupling'9,is connected with the lower ends of the'pipes ll by the ,tubes lfi and the discharge nipple of this coupling 14 is connected by a tube 16 with a'pipe -17 whic'his connected ,b'y'a tube 18 with apipe' 19, the outer end of which is*wei'ghted,as at 20. "A" dri receiverlf2l iscarried by the pipe 17 an a hook 22 "is also carried' by said pipe" adjacentfits upper e'nd.

The" device is inserted'in'the tank ii which contains the cooling medium, as shownin Figure 1, so that the parts'assume the shape ofa/U, with thetube""18 and' the'pipe 19 forming'a siphon, the/pipe l9"e'xten'ding into 1 the "receiving receptacle B 3 which is placed alongsidethe tank A. Thehook 22 isplaced over 'the edge of the amass shown in? Figure' 1; 'Th us when the cream or otherfl-uidmis placed in the" receptacle 1,;itwill'flow" through the funnel andinto the coupling 9'whereit willbe divided into 1 four streams,' -each stream" passing down a pipe 11. The streams comextogetherfagain at the coupling '14 andjp'ass. upwardly, through the return pipe 17 and .throughthe tube 18 and'pipe19 into the receiving re-f ceptacle B. -The fluid, passingthroiigh the down part of the deVice', composed; of the pipes 11,'will'divide intosmall streams so" thatthe cooling'mediumcan readily absorb. the heat fromthe liquid and theflow of "the liquid is checked. as it must. pass; from "the" four pipes into the single returnpipe. Thus I vented from "running on tothe cfioor of the,

the liquid is held in that part of the device which is immersed in the cooling medium for a considerable time so that it Will be thoroughly cooled before being discharged into the receiver B. I

After the device has been used, it may be hung up, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, so that thegpa rts "willha'ng straight and thus they can be easily cleaned by pouring clean ing fluid through them and the parts Will drain readily, as Will -be seenr Anyliquid remaining on the exterior parts will be caught by the receptacle 21 and thus be 'pre room wher thedevic'e" is hung up.

, Thisidevicecan receive the cream directly from t'heljseparator, so that it will cool the cream immediately and, thus check the growth of bacteria, 1; Th device is easy to,

keep ,cl ean a ndbemanufactured to sell atflow cost,

"It 1 is thought ,foregoing descrip-'' tion that' ltheadvantages and novel features of my invention gvvill be readily apparent.
